Keep your Plantation attic safe and dry.

Your attic is one of the most vulnerable spots for water leaks. That is why it is essential to protect your attic before the water becomes a problem.

A leaking roof is the most common cause of water damage in Plantation attics. However, if you have appliances or an HVAC system in your attic, they might also lead to water damage issues.

There are some simple steps you can take to protect your attic:

• Keep your roof in good condition – deal with any leaks or missing shingles immediately.
• Ensure your attic has good insulation and ventilation.
• If you have any appliances up there, check them regularly and have them repaired if necessary.
• Run a dehumidifier in your attic to lower moisture levels.

If you think you have water damage up there, give SERVPRO a call. Our technicians can scan for hidden water sources and pinpoint possible leaks. We also equip our teams with dehumidifiers, air movers, and portable heaters to dry out your attic.
